Me and My Mom are doing a study called Bright Lights. It is designed to encourage young ladies to walk in the light. We just finished the first bunch of lessons and this is one that encouraged me.
The fear of YHVH is the beginning of wisdom Proverbs 9:10
The fear of YHVH prolongs life but the years of the wicked will be short Proverbs 10:27
Let not your heart envy sinners: but continue in the fear of YHVH all the day. Proverbs 23:17
The fear of YHVH does not mean being frightened of Yah. Terror will cause you to flee from him, but fear will draw you to him. Fearing YHVH is knowing and taking seriously the fact that one day we will stand before our holy and just Creator and give account to Him.
There is a hidden obstacle that often we young ladies don't see, Fear of what other people think of us, the fear of man. The world has very different standards than Yah has, so we should be careful that our standards are as close to Yah's as we can possibly get.
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but but whoever trusts in Yah is safe. Proverbs 29:25
In the fear of YHVH one has strong confidence and His children will have a refuge. Proverbs 14:26
Confidence in him is so precious I wouldn't trade that for anything! I have found it helpful to read the Bible more and memorize scripture, and study it to figure what Yah's standards are,(i.e. modesty, attitude etc.)
If He is on my side than who can be against me?
Love,
